Formulation and Evaluation of Organic Fertilizer

Organic fertilizers, derived from natural sources such as animal manure, plant residues, and compost, play a critical role in sustainable agriculture by enhancing soil fertility and promoting long-term ecosystem health. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly, improving soil structure, water retention, and microbial activity. This study examines the nutrient content, effectiveness, and environmental impact of various organic fertilizers compared to chemical alternatives. Field trials demonstrate that organic fertilizers improve crop yield and quality over time, while reducing the risk of nutrient runoff and soil degradation. Adoption of organic fertilizers can support sustainable farming practices and contribute to the reduction of chemical dependency in agriculture, benefiting both the environment and human health.
